Early life
Jennifer Lopez was born and grew up in the
South Bronx,
New York to
Puerto Rican parents Guadalupe Rodríguez, a kindergarten teacher, and David Lopez, a computer specialist.
[3] She has two siblings,
Lynda and Leslie. Lopez spent her entire academic career in
Catholic schools, finishing at the all-girls
Preston High School, in the Bronx. She financed singing and dancing lessons for herself from the age of 19. After attending
Baruch College for one
semester, Lopez divided her time between working in a legal office, dance classes, and dance performances in
Manhattan night clubs.
[4] She had a bit part in the 1987 film
My Little Girl
. After months of auditioning for dance roles, Lopez was selected as a
dancer for various
rap music videos, a 1990 episode of
Yo! MTV Raps
, and as a
backup dancer for the
New Kids on the Block and their performance of their song "Games" for the
American Music Awards in 1991. After being rejected twice, she gained her first regular high-profile job as a "Fly Girl" dancer on the television comedy program
In Living Color
in 1990. Soon after, Lopez became a backup dancer for
Janet Jackson and made an appearance in her 1993 video "
That's the Way Love Goes".
Film and television
Lopez's first television job as an actress, on the Fox series
South Central
came her way because the producer of the
television series was married to one of the other "Fly Girls," and he took notice of Lopez during a special Fox aired about them. Lopez also made a guest appearance
Second Chances
and
Hotel Malibu
. She then appeared in the made-for-television film
Nurses on the Line: The Crash of Flight 7
. Lopez's first serious screen role was in Gregory Nava's 1995 drama
My Family
, playing the character of Young Maria in the 1920s. After starring alongside
Jimmy Smits and
Edward James Olmos in
My Family
, Lopez starred in the action film
Money Train
opposite
Wesley Snipes and
Woody Harrelson.
[5] In 1996, she beat out
Ashley Judd and
Lauren Holly for the supporting role in
Francis Ford Coppola's 1996 comedy
Jack
starring
Robin Williams.
[6] She then starred opposite
Jack Nicholson in
Bob Rafelson's well-received noir thriller
Blood and Wine
.
Lopez's first big break came in 1997, when she was chosen to play the title role in
Selena
, a biopic of the
Tejano pop singer
Selena. Despite having previously worked with Nava on
Mi Familia
, Lopez was subjected to an intense auditioning process before landing the lead role of
Selena
. She earned widespread praise for her performance, including a
Golden Globe Award for "
Best Actress - Motion Picture Musical or Comedy". Later that year Lopez appeared in two major films. She starred in the
horror film Anaconda
alongside
Ice Cube and
Jon Voight, playing the role of Terri Flores, a director who is shooting a
documentary while traveling through the
Amazon River.
[7] Though, despite being a modest
box office hit, the film was critically panned.
[8] Lopez then starred as the leading actress in the
neo-noir film
U Turn
, which is based on the book
Stray Dogs
, starring alongside
Sean Penn and
Billy Bob Thornton.
In 1998, she had one of her most acclaimed roles, starring opposite
George Clooney in
Out of Sight
,
Steven Soderbergh's adaptation the
Elmore Leonard novel.
[9] Cast as a deputy federal marshal who falls for a charming criminal, Lopez won raves for her tough performance and in the process she became the highest paid Latina actress in Hollywood history.
[10] That same year, she provided the voice for Azteca on the
computer-animated film Antz
. Lopez then starred opposite
Vince Vaughn, in the
psychological thriller film
The Cell
. She portrayed Catherine Deane, a child psychologist who uses a
virtual reality to enter into the
minds of her patients to coax them from their comas. The film was released on August 18, 2000 and became a box office success opening at number one.
The following year, Lopez took a hiatus from acting in films to work on her music career.
In 2001, Lopez starred alongside
Matthew McConaughey in the
romantic comedy The Wedding Planner
. The film debuted at number one, making her the first actress and singer in history to have a film and an album,
J.Lo
, at number one in the same week.
[11] Her next role in the supernatural romance
Angel Eyes
(2001), and in the psychological revenge thriller
Enough
(2002), both failed to click with audiences and critics alike.
[12] She appeared alongside
Ralph Fiennes in the
romantic comedy film Maid in Manhattan
(2002). Her character, Marisa Ventura, is a struggling single mother who lives in the Bronx and makes her living cleaning rooms in a super-luxurious Manhattan hotel, who gets mistaken for a socialite by a princely politician.
[13] Maid in Manhattan
was a box office hit opening at number one.
The New York Times
compared the films storyline to her 2002 song, "Jenny from the Block", commenting, "In her new single,
Jenny From the Block,
Jennifer Lopez declares that despite her enormous wealth and global fame, she has not lost touch with her roots.".
[14] Some of her other critically-acclaimed films include
An Unfinished Life
and
Shall We Dance?
. Two
independent films produced by Lopez were well-received at film festivals:
El Cantante
at the
Toronto International Film Festival, and
Bordertown
at the Brussels film festival. Her modestly successful film includes
Monster-in-Law
(2005).
Gigli
, however, would be a critical and commercial disappointment. In August 2007, Lopez collaborated on the feature film,
El Cantante
, with her husband singer-actor
Marc Anthony. The film is in English, with a creative use of subtitles for songs with Spanish lyrics. In addition, she will appear in the
romantic comedy The Back-Up Plan
.
[15]
On April 10, 2007 Lopez made an appearance as a mentor on
American Idol
.
[16] Lopez also became the executive producer of the eight-episode reality show,
DanceLife
, which ran on
MTV and began on January 15, 2007. Lopez helped select the show's participants and made cameo appearances. She then served as executive producer of a miniseries broadcast on
Univisión. Titled after her CD
Como Ama Una Mujer
, it ran in five episodes from October 30 to November 27, 2007, and starred Christian Borrero and Adriana Cruz.
[17]
Lopez signed a contract as star and executive producer of an unscripted reality series for
TLC, a division of Discovery Communications Inc. The series will show the launching of her new fragrance,
[18] and will not focus on her family.
[19]
Box office standing and record sales
Lopez is one of the highest-paid actresses in Hollywood and the highest-paid Latin actress in Hollywood history, though she's never had a film grossing over $100 million in the U.S. She was on the ''

Music career

(1999)
Lopez's debut album
On the 6
, a reference to the
6 subway line she used to take growing up in Castle Hill was released on June 1, 1999, and reached the top ten of the
Billboard
200. The album featured the
Billboard
Hot 100 number-one lead single, "
If You Had My Love",, as well as the top ten hit "
Waiting for Tonight". The album also featured a
Spanish language, Latin-flavored duet "
No Me Ames" with
Marc Anthony (who later would become her husband.) Though "No Me Ames" never had a commercial release, it reached number one on the U.S.
Hot Latin Tracks.
On the 6
featured guest artists such as
Big Pun and
Fat Joe on the track "
Feelin' So Good", which had moderate success on the
Billboard
Hot 100. "
Let's Get Loud", the final single, earned Lopez a
Grammy Award nomination in the "
Best Dance Recording" category in
2001 Grammy Awards.
[26] "Waiting for Tonight" was nominated for the same category the previous year.
[27] "No Me Ames" received two nominations at the 2000
Latin Grammy Awards — "Best Pop Duo/Group with Vocal Performance" and "Best Music Video".
J. Lo
(2001)
Lopez's second album,
J. Lo
, was released on January 23, 2001 and debuted at number one on the
Billboard
200. When her film
The Wedding Planner
achieved number one shortly after, Lopez become the first actress-singer to have a film and an album at number one in the same week.
[28] The lead single, "
Love Don't Cost a Thing", was her first number-one single in the United Kingdom and took her into the top five on the U.S.
Billboard
Hot 100. She followed it up with "
Play" which gave her another top twenty hit on the
Billboard
Hot 100 and reached number three in the UK. Her next two singles were "
I'm Real" and "
Ain't It Funny" which were quickly rising up the charts. To capitalize on this, Lopez asked
The Inc. Records (then known as Murder Inc.) to
remix both songs, which featured rap artists
Ja Rule (on both) and Caddillac Tah (on the "Ain't It Funny" remix). Both remixes reached number one on the
Billboard
Hot 100 for several weeks. She re-released
J. Lo
on her thirty-second birthday with the remix of "I'm Real" as a
bonus track. Also, "Si Ya Se Acabó" was released in Spain, due to the success "Que Ironia".
J to tha L-O!: The Remixes
(2002)
Following the success of the re-release of
J. Lo
, Lopez decided to devote an entire album to the remixing effort, releasing
J to tha L-O!: The Remixes
, on February 5, 2002. This album debuted at number one on the
Billboard
200, becoming the first remix album in history to debut at the top on the chart.
[29] Featured artists on
J to tha L-O!: The Remixes
included
P. Diddy, Fat Joe, and
Nas, and the album included rare
dance and
hip hop remixes of past singles. It is the fourth all-time biggest-selling remix album in history, after
Michael Jackson's
Blood on the Dance Floor: HIStory in the Mix
,
The Beatles'
Love
and
Madonna's
You Can Dance
.
This Is Me... Then
(2002)
On November 26, 2002, Lopez released her third studio album,
This Is Me... Then
, which reached number two on the
Billboard
200 and spawned four singles: "
Jenny from the Block" (featuring
Jadakiss and
Styles P), which reached number three on the
Billboard
Hot 100; "
All I Have" (featuring
LL Cool J), which spent multiple weeks at number one; "
I'm Glad"; and "
Baby I Love U!". The album included a
cover of
Carly Simon's 1978 "You Belong to Me".
The video for "I'm Glad" recreated scenes from the 1983 film
Flashdance
, leading to a lawsuit over
copyright infringement, which was later dismissed.
[30] [31]
Rebirth
(2005)
After a year away from the music scene, Lopez released her fourth studio album,
Rebirth
, on March 1, 2005. Although debuting and peaking at number two on the
Billboard
200, the album quickly fell off the charts. It spawned the hit "
Get Right", which reached the top fifteen in the U.S. and became her second Platinum hit (after "If You Had My Love"). "Get Right" was also successful in the UK, becoming her second number-one single there. The second single, "
Hold You Down", which featured Fat Joe, reached number sixty-four on the U.S. Hot 100; it peaked at number six in the UK and ascended to the top twenty in Australia. Another song, "Cherry Pie", was slated for a release in late 2005, but the plans to make a video were canceled as the album sales were definitely too weak and the promotion budget exceeded. It was released to radio stations in Spain.
Rebirth
was certified Platinum in the U.S. by the
RIAA. Lopez was then featured on
LL Cool J's single "
Control Myself", which was released on February 1, 2006. It reached number four on the U.S.
Billboard
Hot 100 and number two on the
UK Singles Chart. It was Lopez's first U.S. top ten hit in three years.
Como Ama Una Mujer
(2007)
Lopez officially released her first full Spanish-language album, called
Como Ama una Mujer
, on March 27, 2007 in the U.S. and March 23, 2007 in
Europe. Her husband, singer Marc Anthony, produced the album with Estefano, except for "Qué Hiciste", which Anthony co-produced with Julio Reyes. The album peaked at number ten on the U.S.
Billboard
200, number one on the U.S. Top Latin Albums (for four straight weeks), number one on the U.S. Latin Pop Albums (for seven straight weeks), and number one hundred and thirty-one in the UK. The album did well in Europe peaking at number three on the albums chart, mainly due to the big success in countries like
Switzerland, Italy, Spain, France,
Belgium,
Greece, Germany,
Austria, and
Portugal. The lead single, "
Qué Hiciste" (Spanish for "What Did You Do"), was officially released to radio stations in January 2007. Since then, it has peaked at eighty-six on the U.S.
Billboard
Hot 100 and number one on the
Hot Latin Songs and the
Hot Dance Club Play. It also went top ten on the European chart. The video for the song was the first Spanish-language video to peak at number one on MTV's
Total Request Live
daily countdown. The second single released is called "
Me Haces Falta" and the third is "
Por Arriesgarnos". Lopez won an American Music Award as the Favorite Latin Artist in 2007.
Como Ama una Mujer
holds the record for the best opening week internet sales for a Spanish album. With Como Ama Una Mujer, Jennifer Lopez is one of the few performers to debut in the top 10 of the
Billboard
200 with a Spanish album.
Brave
(2007)
Just over six months later, on October 9, 2007, Lopez released her fifth English studio album (sixth studio album overall). She collaborated with producers
Midi Mafia,
J. R. Rotem, Lynn and Wade and
Ryan Tedder, with Rotem working on some tracks with writing partner
Evan "Kidd" Bogart.
[32] Earlier, on August 26, 2007,
ABC premiered a promo for the fourth season of
Desperate Housewives
, featuring a snippet of the song "Mile In These Shoes". "
Do It Well" was released as the lead single and reached the top 20 in many countries. "
Hold It, Don't Drop It" was released as the second single in certain European territories only. The third single was set to be the title track "Brave", and it was even posted on Michael Haussman's official website that filming of the music video for the single had completed. However, neither the single nor the video ever surfaced most likely due to low album sales.
2009-present
"I’m always excited about my music, "Hooked On You" is one of a few tracks I’m currently working on. I’m flattered by everyone’s interest in the track and really excited for you to hear the real thing! Check my website soon for more information on my next release."

In February 2009 the first of several new recordings, "Hooked On You" was circulated on the internet which confirmed rumours that Lopez was back in the studio recording a brand new album. Later in March 2009 Lopez went on record to speak about the track in March via her official website confirming that she was indeed working on new songs.
In May 2009 another new recording titled "What Is Love" surfaced; it was written by
Wynter Gordon. That day, Gordon mentioned the song on her official
MySpace and later clarified what she wrote: "apparently a blogger took this as a dis towards J-Lo. It's not. I respect and admire J-Lo and I was honored for her to cut my song. The "lifetime TV special" comment was directed at the leak. The song was not properly serviced. It's not mixed, mastered, or finished but it's out for public consumption and opinion. That's why I'm angry".
[34]
In June 2009, Lopez confirmed that she was working on a full length
studio album and not a greatest hits collection as previously thought. "I worked on music while I was pregnant and while I was at home, but now to really get into it and focus on it and to finish the project is exciting," she said in an
MTV interview. Lopez said she was working on a few singles and trying to finish the album, so it could be out later this year and that it would feature a very "focused concept", but she wasn't willing to reveal exactly what that concept is just yet. Lopez also said that she chose a title for the album, however, she didn't reveal what that title was. She also confirmed that "One Love" and "What Is Love" are indeed new songs which will appear on the album but she doesn't know if they will be the first singles. She ended the interview by saying that she "loves making great pop/dance music with beautiful lyrics" which again is what can be seen on the new album.
[35] [36] According to
Digitalspy Lopez's representatives have denied that she is joining
American Idol as a judge and that her new studio album is scheduled for release in January 2010 along with her new film
"The Back-up Plan"
.
[37]

Billboard Magazine reported, on July 24, 2007, that Jennifer Lopez and
Marc Anthony would "co-headline" a worldwide tour called "
Juntos en Concierto" starting in New Jersey on September 29.

Business
Lopez launched a clothing line in 2003. Named
JLO by Jennifer Lopez, the line included different types of clothing for young women, including
jeans,
T-shirts,
coats,
belts,
purses, and
lingerie, a
jewelry line,
[39] and an accessory line that includes
hats,
gloves, and
scarves.
[40] Lopez participated in the
Louis Vuitton Winter 2003 campaign. In 2005, she launched a new clothing line called Sweetface. In late 2007, Lopez retired JLO by Jennifer Lopez and launched a new juniors' line called JustSweet.
[41] Her fashion lines have featured at many New York Fashion Week events.
Lopez's frequent use of animal
fur in her clothing lines and personal wardrobe has brought the scorn of people concerned with
animal rights.
[42] At the
Los Angeles premiere of
Monster-in-Law
, more than one hundred protesters from
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) held a demonstration to highlight their concerns.
[43]
On April 12, 2002, Lopez opened a
Cuban restaurant in the South Lake district of
Pasadena,
California named . A media sensation was creating when during a press shoot for the fancy restaurant, a mysterious man appeared out of the sidelines and gave Lopez a floral arrangement from
Ben Affleck, even as then-husband
Cris Judd stood next to her. Lopez was widely criticized for what appeared to be infidelity on her part.
Lopez has ventured in the
perfume industry, with her debut "
Glow by J.Lo". In October 2003, Lopez introduced a perfume called "Still", having revisit "Glow" the previous year by creating a limited edition spin-off, "Miami Glow by J.Lo", in homage to her adopted hometown of
Miami. Lopez also marketed a "Glow" line of body lotions and bronzing products. For the
Christmas season of 2005, she launched another fragrance, "Live by Jennifer Lopez". For 2006
Valentine's Day, "Miami Glow" was replaced by yet another "Glow" spin-off, "Love at First Glow by J.Lo". Her following fragrance, "Live Luxe", was released in August 2006, with "Glow After Dark" following in January 2007. Lopez is a spokesperson for
Lux shampoo in Japan, appearing in the product's television commercials.
Lopez owns the film and television production company
Nuyorican Productions. It was cofounded with her manager
Benny Medina, who was supposed to receive half the producing revenue from the company.
[44] Lopez split with Medina shortly after the company was founded, but they later restored their business relationship.
[45]
Lopez has been recognized by
People en Español
magazine as both the cover subject for the "50 Most Beautiful" issue in 2006 and the "100 Most Influential Hispanics" issue in February 2007.
Relationships
Ojani Noa
Lopez's first marriage was to Cuban-born
Ojani Noa [46] on February 22, 1997. Lopez met Noa while he worked as a waiter at a Miami restaurant. They divorced in January 1998. Lopez later employed Noa as the manager of her Pasadena restaurant Madre's in April 2002, but he was fired in October 2002. After Noa sued Lopez over the termination, they drew up a confidentiality agreement.
[47] In April 2006, Lopez sued to prevent her ex-husband, Noa, from publishing a book containing personal details about their short marriage, contending it violated their confidentiality agreement.
[48]
In August 2007, a court-appointed arbitrator issued a permanent injunction forbidding Ojani Noa from "criticizing, denigrating, casting in a negative light or otherwise disparaging" Jennifer Lopez. She was awarded $545,000 in compensatory damages, which included nearly $300,000 in legal fees and almost $48,000 in arbitration costs. Noa was also ordered to hand over all copies of materials related to the book to Lopez or her attorney.
[49]
Sean Combs
Lopez next had a two-and-a-half-year relationship with hip-hop mogul
Sean Combs. On December 27, 1999, Lopez and Combs were at Club New York, a midtown Manhattan nightclub, when gunfire erupted between Combs' entourage and another group. Lopez and Combs were being driven away from the scene when they were chased and stopped by the police.
[50] A gun was found in the front seat of their vehicle. Combs was charged with felony gun possession. Stress over Combs' trial and pursuit by the press multiplied their problems, and Lopez terminated her involvement with Combs one year later. Durng a related civil suit in 2008, the plaintiff's lawyer said Lopez had “nothing to contribute to the case”.
[51]
Cris Judd
Her second marriage was to her former
backup dancer,
Cris Judd. She met Judd while filming the music video for her single "Love Don't Cost a Thing." The two were married on September 29, 2001, at a home in a Los Angeles suburb. Their marriage effectively ended in June 2002, when Lopez began publicly dating Ben Affleck.
[52] They were officially divorced in January 2003.
Ben Affleck
Lopez's relationship with actor
Ben Affleck was highly publicized, with the media dubbing the couple "
Bennifer". Lopez announced her engagement to Affleck in November 2002, after Affleck gave her a six-carat pink
diamond ring worth a reported $1.2 million.
[53] Lopez promised interviewers that Affleck was indeed "the one", and that they would soon have a family. The marriage, planned for September 14, 2003 in
Santa Barbara, California, was called off just hours before the event. Their relationship was parodied on the
South Park
episode "
Fat Butt and Pancake Head", which aired on April 16, 2003. Affleck has since married actress
Jennifer Garner on July 1, 2005 and they have 2 daughters, Violet, born on December 1, 2005 and Seraphina, born on January 6, 2009. In 2003 Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck acted together in the film "
Gigli" and in the 2004 film "
Jersey Girl".
Marc Anthony
Shortly after her break-up with Affleck, Lopez was seen with singer
Marc Anthony, a longtime friend with whom she had worked in music videos. They had briefly dated in the late 1990s, before his first marriage and her second. Lopez and Anthony were recording a duet together in early 2004, for Lopez's then-upcoming film
Shall We Dance?
. In October 2003, Anthony became separated, for the second time, from his first wife, former
Miss Universe Dayanara Torres, with whom he has two children. Torres filed for divorce three months later. Lopez and Anthony married in a quiet home wedding on June 5, 2004, four days after his divorce from Torres was final. Their ceremony was private and unpublicized. In attendance were an estimated forty close relatives and friends. On the morning of the wedding, however, the media was tipped off and circled her backyard in helicopters. Photographs, alerting the rest of the world, soon followed. Reports fueled rumors that Lopez was pregnant but this was not the case.
Lopez's guests had been invited to an "afternoon party" at Lopez's house and had not been made aware that they were actually going to her wedding. The couple had planned not to publicize their marriage early on, allowing more privacy and time together in an otherwise intrusive environment. Days after the wedding, Anthony refused to comment on their marriage during interviews which were scheduled earlier to promote a new album "
Amar Sin Mentiras" (To Love Without Lies).
[54] In February 2005, Lopez confirmed the marriage, and added that "everyone knows. It's not a secret".
[55] A few months later, Anthony's daughter, Ariana, appeared at the end of Lopez's music video "
Get Right" as her little sister. Regarding his marriage and family life, Anthony maintains a private and sometimes defensive stance with the media, which has influenced Lopez to set some boundaries with interviewers. On December 29, 2008,
Daily News
reported that Lopez and Anthony planned to announce their divorce on
Valentine's Day.
[56] This allegation was put to rest by her publicist stating that "There is no merit to the article".
[57]
Scientology
It was reported that Lopez and Anthony were taking professional business meetings at the
Church of Scientology Celebrity Centre in Hollywood, California, in late 2006. It was also rumored that Lopez and Anthony became
Scientologists during that period with the help of Angelo Pagan, the husband of "
King of Queens" actress and
Scientologist Leah Remini.
[58] Just prior to those reports, Lopez said to NBC, "I'm not a Scientologist, I was raised Catholic. But it's funny the way people come at it. To me it's so strange. These are some of the best people I've ever met in my life." She added, "My dad has been a Scientologist for 20 years. He's the best man that I know in my life and so, it's weird to me that people want to paint it in a negative way."
[59]
Pregnancy and birth of twins
On the last night of their "En Concierto" tour November 7, 2007, before a crowd of fans, Lopez confirmed she was expecting her first child with husband Marc Anthony. The announcement ended months of speculation over the pregnancy.
[60] Her father later confirmed on February 5, 2008, she was expecting twins.
[61] Lopez gave birth on February 22, 2008 to fraternal twins, a girl and a boy, Emme Maribel Muñiz, and Maximilian "Max" David Muñiz. The twins were introduced in the March 11, 2008 issue of
People
magazine for which the magazine paid $6 million.
[62] [63]
Human rights advocacy
On February 14, 2007, Lopez received the Artists for
Amnesty International award "in recognition of her work as producer and star of
Bordertown
, a film exposing the ongoing murders of hundreds of women in the border city of
Juárez,
Mexico".
Nobel Peace Prize winner
José Ramos-Horta presented the award to Lopez at the
Berlin International Film Festival. She also received special recognition and thanks from
Norma Andrade, co-founder of
Nuestras Hijas de Regreso a Casa A.C. ("May Our Daughters Return Home, Civil Association"), an organization consisting of mothers and families of the murdered women of Juárez.
